To consider the report of the Director of Place, Planning and Growth, (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

The Officers referred to an update distributed to Members earlier in the day that highlighted a change in their recommendation, namely to defer this application to a later Committee date due to discrepancies between the site description and the application form as submitted. In addition, there were issues with the red outline of the site on the location plan that could lead to procedure issues and affect the soundness of any decision made by the Committee.

The Chairperson then proposed the Officers recommendation to defer be agreed. This was duly seconded and, upon a vote being taken the proposal was carried.

RESOLVED that this application be DEFFERED to a later Committee date.
